HB 3241 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to events on lands zoned for exclusive farm use.

HB 3241 allows counties in Oregon to permit certain events on land zoned exclusively for farming, directly affecting farm property owners and county governments. The bill sets specific rules: events must be outdoors or in existing farm buildings, host no more than 250 people, follow parking/traffic plans to protect farming operations, be managed by the landowner, occur no more than 30 times yearly, and comply with health/safety regulations. It does not allow new construction and explicitly permits counties to authorize such events under existing agri-tourism or commercial event provisions. This changes how counties regulate non-farming activities on designated farmland.
